Accessibility

Joinue is built to WCAG 2.2 level AA. Most of it meets that standard and some of it doesn't yet. This page covers what helps today. The full statement, with the blunt list of what still doesn't work, is on the Accessibility page.

Bigger text

If your phone is set to larger text, Joinue follows it without being asked. You can also pick Large or Extra large for Joinue alone, and whichever is bigger wins. The whole app is re-pitched, with captions, labels, and timestamps gaining the most. Joinue tops out at Extra large, so the very largest phone settings aren't matched all the way. The control is covered in Themes, text size, and motion.

Less motion

With Reduce Motion on in your phone's or computer's own settings, Joinue stops its page transitions and other animation, and the animated theme backdrops hold still. The Reduce motion switch in Settings does the same for Joinue alone.

Contrast and color

Text is checked against every background it can land on, in every theme, each time the app changes, so picking a look you like doesn't cost you readable text. For the strongest separation between text and background, pick the Contrast theme.

Easier to tap

A small control gets a bigger invisible area around it, so you don't have to aim. Haptics, the small taps you feel when something goes through, can be switched off in Settings. That switch is per phone, so turn it off on each one you use.

Keyboard

• A Skip to content link sits at the top of every page in the app. It shows when you Tab to it and jumps past the menu.
• Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) opens search from anywhere.
• C opens the create menu on a computer.

Reordering a packing list or a to-do list still takes dragging, and a few controls can't be reached by keyboard yet.

Screen readers

This is where Joinue is weakest. Some controls aren't announced as buttons, some fields don't read out their labels, videos have no captions, and many photos have no description. The unannounced controls are what we're fixing first. Explore's map is never required: the same venues, events, and Regulars are there as plain lists.
